Chapter 190 First Victory

This start is not high for a Lu Shi graduate who has just returned to work, but it is not low. However, generally speaking, as long as these military school students who have returned to China are not stupid and perform normally, it will not take a year or two to climb to the level of the management belt.

Hua Yongquan thought that this bright future Zhou Shuren should not destroy his future, and even if he fails, he should be able to push him out as a scapegoat and make a decision: "In this case, let's fight a raid!"

Then he looked at Zhou Shuren: "Zhou Team Officer, take your troops over first!"

The implication is to let Zhou Shuren take the lead!

Originally, I thought that Zhou Shuren would show dissatisfaction, but I didn't expect that Zhou Shuren's face was full of excitement: "Don't worry, I will definitely break through the enemy's formation at that time!"

Seeing this, Hua Yongquan muttered in his heart again. When the boy just said he was going to launch a raid, was he after careful consideration or was his head hot?

No matter how he muttered in his heart, the time on the battlefield did not wait for anyone. The enemy was a few miles away, and the fighter plane was slightly inferior, and he had no time to hesitate about anything. Immediately, Hua Yongquan ordered the troops to remain silent and then quietly marched forward, but his cavalry battalion between the march was already Concentrate.

The terrain of Huangjiazhuang is a typical plain terrain of North China. Of course, the plain terrain is not all endless grasslands. There will always be ups and downs, rivers and forests.

In one of the sparse woods, hundreds of cavalry led the horses quietly, while Hua Yongquan kept walking to boost the morale of the troops. Although they did not dare to speak loudly because they were close to the enemy, the lowered voice still made the cavalry listen to.

"For General Zhao!" For the country and the nation!" Such slogans kept saying, and I have to say that although the bandit cavalry officers who came from Lv Shuanggun were not very tactically, they were very good at cheering their morale. At least the officers from the class such as Zhou Shuren were coldly watching Zhou Shuren's continuous wandering speeches among the soldiers.

These proud young officers have their own pride, and they will not get along with those soldiers in the past!

"Look, the enemy is approaching. Look at this queue long enough!" Before long, the telescopes of the officers already appeared soldiers in the same dark blue uniforms, and their arms were not embroidered with white or yellow or red cloth. Obviously, they were new troops loyal to the imperial court. According to many previous intelligence, they could appear in Tongzhou at this time. It should be a department in the sixth town under Wang Shizhen.

As the enemy got closer and closer, everyone became more and more nervous. After the enemy gradually approached and passed through the official road in front of him, Zhou Shu said, "Your Excellency, it's now!"

Hua Yongquan said, "Well, get ready to attack!"

Immediately, many officers under him trotted to the front of their respective troops, and Hua Yongquan also took the reins of his war horse from the soldiers, and then ordered, "Get on the horse!"

As hundreds of people turned over their horses, Hua Yongquan continued to pass the order: "D draw the knife and move forward slowly!"

With the order, the cavalry pulled out their sabers and then resisted directly on their shoulders, which also urged **'s war horses to walk forward.

And just as the cavalry in the first row were about to walk out of the woods, the leading officers gave the order in time: "Run forward!"

led by Zhou Shuren has already trotted up the war horse that urged **. After the war horse trotted, his whole body was bumpy. At this time, he had seen that the Beiyang soldiers hundreds of meters ahead had found their own raid, and it seemed that there had been a trace of panic.

However, Zhou Shuren did not pay attention to them, but felt the speed of the war horse while estimating the distance.

After a while, the surrounding uprising heard him shouting again: "Kill!"

With this 'kill', Zhou Shuren urged the war horse to break out with the maximum charge speed and rushed out first, while the other cavalry also no longer cared about the horses and urged the war horses to launch the final charge. At the same time, it can also be found that the sabers they had originally resisted on their shoulders had quietly turned over and their fingers. Forward.

The last few hundred meters of charge distance is actually more than ten seconds for the cavalry who have raised their speed, and in this time, the soldiers of the sixth town who are still marching on the opposite side can't reflect and organize the defensive formation in time.

In the face of a large number of cavalry roaring with sabreswaving swords not far away, those infantry couldn't help shaking their legs and feet, and several officers shouted loudly: "Shoo, shoot quickly!"

But in a hurry, no one obeyed these orders. Only a few veterans could take out their rifles and shoot back.

More people were a little stunned. When they reflected and wanted to take down the rifle and put bullets on the rifle, Zhou Shuren's cavalry was less than 100 meters away from them.

At this time, the sound of gunfire also sounded one after another. A knight next to Zhou Shu's person fell down the horse and fell to the ground after the sound of gunfire. The horse behind him could not avoid it, or did not avoid it at all. The horse's hoof directly stepped on the body of the cavalry, as if on the noisy battlefield. You can hear the sound of the chest being crushed by the horse's paw.

However, after a few breaths, the dozens of cavalry rushing to the front have waved their sabers one after another.

In the face of those soldiers who were panicked and had begun to turn around and flee, the knights did not wield their knives to cut them hard, but used the speed of the war horses to gently take a belt. The sabers could easily use the inertial power of the war horses to cut the enemy's body in half. Some elite knights even pulled the sabers in their hands. , can directly cut off the enemy's head to the ground, but more cavalry still rely on the power of the horse to quickly and easily cut down a large number of enemy soldiers who turned around and ran away.

In this process, the enemy's infantry has begun to collapse, while the enemy infantry a little farther away are shooting horse knights with guns. However, some of them may be able to hit one or more cavalry, but soon he will find that the cavalry they shot as targets have already instigated his horses. In front of him, he will see a shiny saber swinging in front of his eyes.

Come back, they are dead!

"This is a perfect cavalry raid!" After receiving Hua Yongquan's war report, Meng Enyuan couldn't help but praise it directly: "Use the terrain to secretly approach and ambush, launch a strong attack under the condition of equal forces, and then force the enemy to collapse, and then create favorable conditions for pursuit and slashing. This article gives full play to the advantages of my cavalry!"

Hua Zhenji, who was beside him, also said, "Zhou Shuren, who put forward the battle plan, is my descendant of Lu Shi. Although he is younger, he still has the ability!"

As an officer from the riding department of a non-commissioned officer in Japan, the relationship between Hua Zhenji and Zhou Shuren is naturally closer than that of ordinary officers. Now that Zhou Shuren has won a battle in front of him, he also feels glorious on his face, and it is not in vain for him to recommend him to Zhao Dongyun.

Meng Enyuan naturally understood Hua Zhenji's thoughts and immediately said, "Don't worry, I won't lose his credit. At that time, I will ask the commander for credit for him!"

"This second battalion fought quite well this time. At the cost of less than 30 casualties, it defeated an enemy infantry battalion, which not only killed and injured more than 100 enemy troops, but also captured nearly 100 people, which is a good start after our army entered the customs." Lv Shuanggun beside him was also smiling. Although the second battalion of the cavalry was the first target unit under Hua Zhenji, Hua Yongquan was his old subordinate, which was naturally happy for him.

Soon, the news that Hua Yongquan's second cavalry battalion had won a small battle on the front line of Tongzhou reached Zhao Dongyun.

"This Hua Yongquan is the same as Lu Shuanggun. He doesn't look good on the surface, but he can still fight!" Zhao Dongyun still appreciates this medium-sized cavalry raid, but this kind of thing can only be regarded as a special case and cannot be widely promoted.

Not every battle can have an advantage. This kind of immediate melee can only sneak attack small-scale troops in a marching state, or heavy logistics troops, and the main tactical application of the cavalry still needs to return to the road of battle.

"And Zhou Shuren's performance is also remarkable, and it should also be used after this war!" Zhao Dongyun seemed to be talking to himself and said to Fang Biyong, "Well, by the way, what's the situation in the fourth town in the south?"

Fangbi Yongdao: "General Duan has led his troops to continue to march west, and has also urged us to speed up the pace of the march. Do you think it will speed up the troops?"

Zhao Dongyun turned his eyes back to the map on the desktop at this time. Half a day later, he said, "Now it's almost time to Beijing. It hasn't been slow for a day or two, and it's still safe!"

Since leaving the railway in Tangshan, Zhao Dongyun's troops have entered the state of foot soldiers!

Originally, he and Duan Qirui planned to march along Tangshan, Tianjin, Langfang, Jingshi and other internal and external railways, but the countries in Tianjin were very nervous for fear that the war would affect the Tianjin Concession and other places, so diplomats in various countries banned troops on the pretext of the Xin Chou Treaty, and those who were afraid of repeating the Gengzi disaster The ministers of the chaotic countries are extremely nervous, and some of the foreign troops stationed in Tianjin have been on alert.

In this case, Wang Duan and Zhao, who did not want to cause foreign interference, were forced to bypass Tianjin and then marched directly from Tangshan to the capital.

Fortunately, although foreigners did not allow a large number of troops to pass through Tianjin, they did not stop the railway transportation of Wang Duan and Zhao, so a large amount of ordnance continued to be transported to the front line by rail, and Duan Qirui's troops also lightly bypassed Tianjin and then prepared to arrive in Langfang.

Wang Yingkai's troops are simple. They have been north along the Luhan Railway and have been stationed in Zhuozhou for a long time. Now they have also formed a corner with Duan Qirui.

And Zhao Dongyun's words were responsible for marching from the east because of the large number of cavalry and the late arrival. That is, after leaving the railway from Tangshan, he went straight into the capital and then met Wang Duan in the suburbs of the capital.

Although the terrain of the northeast plain is flat and the speed of the walking army is relatively objective, it is out of the railway, and Zhao Dongyun's troops have more heavy equipment, so it is naturally not convenient to march. In this case, Zhao Dongyun would rather slow down than run to the capital and die.

Zhao Dongyun's main force did not arrive, and Duan Qirui and Wang Yingkai in front of them did not launch an attack without authorization, but continued to make the final preparations before the general attack. A large number of shells and bullets were shipped to the front line one after another to hoard.

However, no matter how slow it is, Zhao Dongyun's third town came one after another. In late October, Zhao Dongyun's third town finally arrived in Tongzhou after many days. At this time, Zhao Dongyun could already see the Qing Dragon Flag not far away!
